Visit gocolumbialions.com/bakerfield for updates and special information regarding the Baker Athletics Complex!

The Baker Athletics Complex is the athletics and recreational facility for Columbia’s outdoor varsity sports and recreational programs. Baker is utilized by 14 intercollegiate teams (seven women’s teams and seven men’s teams) and is the venue for practice and intercollegiate competitions for nine varsity sports. The site contains Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium (football and women’s lacrosse), Chrystie Field House, The Remmer Boathouse and other rowing facilities, Columbia Soccer Stadium, Columbia Softball Venue, Robertson Field at Satow Stadium (baseball), the Columbia Field Hockey Venue, The Dick Savitt Tennis Center, and the new Campbell Sports Center.

Columbia has been a proud part of Inwood since 1921 and looks forward to continuing a close working relationship with the community. We hope this page will help keep our neighbors informed about the events taking place at the complex and benefits the community can take advantage of.

Major construction of Muscota Marsh (previously referred to as “Boathouse Marsh”) is complete. The extensive wetland restoration, which reintroduces salt marsh and freshwater zones containing a diverse palette of native plants, has been honored with a design award from New York City’s Public Design Commission. We continue to work closely and cooperatively with the Department of Parks and Recreation on the opening of the park and we look forward to the community’s use of the new public amenities on the waterfront.
